THIS IS MY MAIN AC IN THE ARENA AND VS MATCHES. I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN THIS ARMORED CORE AS IT IS VERY FAST (573).MY MAIN STRATEGY IS, TO DASH AROUND THE GROUND SHOOTING THE MACHINE GUN, TRYING TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO USE THE BLADE. THIS ISN'T VERY HARD DUE TO THE SPEED OF THE AC. IF YOU MISS WITH THE FIRST SWIPE, TURN BOOST TO THE DIRECTION OF YOUR OPPONENT.

I just modified scythe, and rather than reply again, I'll just edit.2ND AC SCYTHE

This ac is my other favorite ac. He is slow compared to CrimsonBLAZE, but he is way more powerful. My technique is, to go stealth and start firing with THE LQ/15. Once stealth runs out, I overboost away. By the time I'm done overboosting, the stealth is ready to use again. Scythe is mainly a long range ac. He is cool because all his weapons and boosters glow green.

Shintou Genesis the CCl-02-E1 is a solid eo core that I found in silent line. Thanks for the reply Ive put this ac up in other places but no one pays attention. I dont think I will make any of the changes u said. The ac's small missle luancher with the extension does a nice chunk of damage. I use the radar becuase it has a higher range and lower energy drain than most radar heads or at least the 008, and I use the 005 head becuase it has high ap. My machine gun comIined with the eo weapon packs a nice punch and if I can hold it on the enemy for about 2 seconds which isnt hard it will put them in out put down. Im not gona use the cng-300 or the mwc-lq/15 u suggested becuase there cannon's and cannons are a death trap if u dont use op-I with the right functions, and I hate op-I

This is basically a modified Painkiller (minus MEST-MX/CROW). The only problem is that it relies solely on a machine gun for long-range attack, so normally you are out-gunned. PETAL has great mobility, but what you really need is rising speed. Hover configurations have a fixed modifier on rising speed, while bidepal types' rising speed is determined by the booster. Overall, the CBT-FLEET beats out over any hover type in rising speed if coupled with a medium or lightweight biped.

I think you should change your legs to a lightweight bipedal, and use CBT-FLEET. This would make your AC a lot faster while boosting. While walking, it will obviously be slower, but with this type of high-speed design you should never walk.

If you modify some other parts, change to the FCS PLS-SRA02, and use a good lightweight bipedal leg part, you should be able to fit on WAKE dual back boosters. In that case, you should change the booster to MBT-OX/E9 (I believe that's what it's called).

The MOONLIGHT isn't very effective against human opponents because it is heavy and slow. For the best effect, use MLB-HALBERD.

I tried doing what you said. I used the sector legs with the fleet boosters, but I didn't like him with the bipeds. It dropped his dashing speed by about 80 km/hr. It did raise his air boosting speed by about a 100. You see, I learned to stay on the ground and to focus on dodging while trying to use the sword. This isn't hard with petal and my crimsonBLAZE setup. The machine gun can last forever, it seems, so I don't think I'm out gunned.

By the way, the MOONLIGHT isn't any slower than the HALBERD, the speed of the sword is determined by the reation speed of the arm. You must be imagining it. Also the petal swings the sword beter than any light weight.

Can you tell me where to find the FCS PLS-SRA0 and how do I quote people.

2) PLS-SRAO2 can be found in the extra mission after the one where you go through the canyon and destroy the base. Fly up to the ceiling and pick it up. Also, destroy all the heat pipe thingies and don't let your consort die to receive two more parts.

This ac is simple but effective. strafe and fly around your opponents, using the machinegun and the shotgun in combination to rack up serious damage, and use your grenade launcher to inflict severe pain.

What do you think?

I can't test it out right now, but I like what I'm seeing. This design caught my eye... that alone should say something. I'm sure I could think of some modifications to it, but overall I like what I'm seeing here.

I myself have a few ideas for some cores... but you'll need to wait a few weeks before I can actually construct anything.

Alright, first of all, i wouldn't use the Cal-44-Eas arms, they have to high of an energy drain, and coupled with your legs and core, you have a very high energy drain. and as for the crows, i never use them in this game, because for 600 weight and 999 energy drain you get 4-5 seconds of stealth. its just not worth it to me. i don't have time to check the parts on my game, but this mech has energy issues.

For those of you that dont know the ccl-02-e1 is a solid shell Eo core. Combine that with the machine gun or the missle's. It does alot of damage and also has a high chance to get them to over heat. Very basic strategy, just keep moving and do wut ever it takes to not get hit alot of course, and keep the heat on your enemy.

Okay Thanatos666, here is a redesigned scythe for you to try. It has about 2000 less energy drain, better cooling, and better armor, but still has the green glow weapons and boost. plus it has a green overboost. however, it doesn't have stealth.

I've only posted one other design, and that was my first good AC, so here's one I've been using recently. It was sort of inspired by Shadow's Exodus design from AC3, using all my favorite parts and sharing a large part of the design. Big thanks to El Mariachi for showing me that the REXs can in fact look good, with the right head.

Yeah. It's got good energy usage, powerful weapons, mad speed and good armor for a lightweight. Not to mention looking great . There really isn't much strategy to it. Just use either back weapon with the bazooka to stun. Use arial tactics when you're using the chain gun and and ground tactics with the LQ. Overboost constantly, whichever weapon you choose. That's about it...tell me what you think.
